Weekend Warrior Wrapup It's All About This Weekend

Did it make you nervous when Jeff was cutting out the passages in the Bible? Even though I know the Word is not paper and ink it still made me a little uncomfortable to see him cutting it up. It is an illustration that will stick with me for a long time. Do I respect the Bible more than I live it? How many passages do I ignore because they don't fit into my box of how to live? It is as if I take scissors and cut them out of the Bible when I don't apply the truths I know. 

Jeff Challenged us this weekend to begin a 30 day reading challenge today and read through the Gospels on Youversion.com. Here is the the LINK if you would like to join us for the 30 day challenge.

I felt a renewed challenge this weekend when Jeff talked about how many pages would we have if our Bible was only the parts we lived. I know there is much more to the truths in the Bible than what I live and I will work towards bringing my life up to the level of the Word in place of bringing the Word down to my life.

I had a great time team teaching with Jeff this weekend on Fasting

• I learned through the fast I did that fasting is a great way to reset your perspective.
• I learned that you should always check you pants and shoes and other clothing for scorpions, before putting them on.
• I learned that picking up the donuts for the weekend while on a fast is tough.
• Several people committed to fast with us this week for clarity, courage and breakthrough. Yah!
• I also was reminded by the examples we read that God can do amazing things for His purpose when we join together in fasting.
• I was reminded that as the church we are to be contributors not consumers.
• Thanks again for all the volunteers who give their time and energy making our campuses great and safe experiences for everyone.
